Up Close & Personal with Aleeshia Fisher

Sep 10, 2008

A native of Lenoir, N.C., Aleeshia Fisher, is up next in our Up
Close interviews. The defender/midfielder is a sophomore
psychology major at Lees-McRae and has plans to become a
psychiatrist after graduation. Fisher played for CVYSA before her
time here. Join us as we get to know her a bit better.

1. What made you decide to come to Lees-McRae
College? I decided to come to Lees-McRae because the
campus and the mountains are so beautiful, and the people I met
were welcoming and so nice.

2. What are you most looking forward to this
season? I am looking forward to winning and doing better
than last year!

3. In which part of the game does your strength
lie? I love competition! So anytime I have a one-on-one
or go against anyone that is physical, that's when you see my
strength.

4. What do you do to prepare yourself for
matches? I just try to get ready mentally and find out
what I need to get done in the game to help me and my
teammates.

5. Who has had the biggest impact on your soccer
career? Everyone who has believed in me and has helped me
get to where I am today.

6. What is your favorite part about being a member of
the Bobcat soccer team? I love being part of a team!
Being part of this team is great, I love all the girls!!!

7. What personal and team goals have you set for this
season? Just giving it all I got every time I step on the
field to play, and using everything we did in spring to help me
improve.

8. What is the biggest mental challenge you face on the
field? I hate losing, so that's hard. Also when someone
isn't working as hard as they should be. But the worst thing is
when I'm injured and have to sit on the sidelines and watch my
teammates play, and I wish I could just go out there and help them
and play in the game!

9. Who has been the biggest role model in your life?
How? My whole family! I love them all so much and they
have always supported me in everything I do and believed in me.
That has helped me get to where I am today.

10. What is your idea of a perfect afternoon?
I love taking naps!!!

11. If you could try something new today what would you
try and why? Skydiving!! It would be such a rush and so
much fun!!!!
